2.| Question :| (TCO 2) Pelican Inc., a closely held corporation (not a PSC), has a $350,000 loss from a passive activity, $135,000 of active income, and $160,000 of portfolio income. How much is Pelican’s taxable income?|

3.| Question :| (TCO 2) Eagle Corporation owns stock in Hawk Corporation and has taxable income of $160,000 for the year before considering the dividends received deduction. Hawk Corporation pays Eagle a dividend of $200,000, which was considered in calculating the $160,000. Which amount of dividends received deduction may Eagle claim if it owns 15% of Hawk’s stock?|

|| Student Answer:| | $0 || | | $112,000 || | | $140,000 || | | $160,000 || | | None of the above || Instructor Explanation:| See Chapter 2. The dividends received deduction depends upon the percentage of ownership by the corporate shareholder. Because Eagle Corporation owns 15% of Hawk Corporation, Eagle would qualify for a 70% deduction. Multiply the dividends received by the $200,000 x 70% = $140,000. Multiply the taxable income before the dividends received deduction by the deduction percentage $160,000 x 70% = $112,000. Limit the deduction to the lesser of step 1 or step 2, unless subtracting the amount derived in step 1 ($140,000) from taxable income before the dividends received deduction ($160,000) generates an NOL ($160,000 - $140,000 = $20,000 taxable income). If so, use the amount derived in step 1 ($140,000). And in this case, the taxable income limitation applies, and the deduction equals $112,000.| |

The company I have chosen is The Bloom Design Group. The Bloom Design Groups mission is to provide online interior design services to its customers. The company offers their customers interior design services. What sets this company apart from others is that they have a website that allows customers a chance to design and decorate their rooms to their liking in a virtual environment before spending their money. The option provided for their customers is a virtual decorating tool. With this tool customers can play around with various color schemes for each roomâ€™s floor and ceilings, as well as customizing furniture as well. Then employees are able to access the corporate network through a VPN collection to access their client files, in order to place electronic orders for the design materials and furniture.
I think Program-Framework security policy is the best overall for this type of company. As the Bloom Design Groups network stands right now it is at a high risk for potential hackers and overall business continuity. The company has one website for both the employees and the customers to gain access to which creates a significant security risk. The company should have a secured intranet complete with a firewall and a secondary form of login credentials such as a key-fob, which randomly generates a series of...

Problem 1-8 Golf Specialties
A. GS should accept Kojos offer because they will see an increased profit of $90.00. At $3.50 per head, GS receives $375.00 profit. At $3.10 per head, GS receives $575.00 profit. This is offset by a $110.00 loss from the sale to Kojo. The result is a $90.00 net increase.
3.50x500=1750.00 4.25x500=2125.00 2125-1750=375.00 profit
3.10x600=1860.00 2.00x100=200 2125+200=2325.00-1865=465.00 profit
B. $1550.00
3.10x500=1550.00
C. GS should consider opportunity cost before choosing to accept the deal with Kojo. If they choose to do business with Kojo, Kojo may want to purchase additional heads. If Kojo wanted 200 heads, the cost to manufacture would be $620.00. Kojo would pay $400.00. This represents a loss of $220.00 and negates the profit realized from the sale of the other 500 heads.
3.10x200=620.00 2x200=400 620.00-400.00=200.00 loss

Book value per share = $15.10
Brief exercise 11.8
a Impact of the 2 for 1 stock split on the number of shares outstanding:
Outstanding common stock = 100,000 shares
Declared stock split 2-for -1 (100,000 * 2) = 200,000 shares
Thus,
Total number of shares outstanding after split = 200,000
b Impact of split on the market price of staock
The main purpose of a stock split is to reduce the market price of the company’s stock so that it becomes more affordable for the investors.
Smelling company owned 100,000 shares of the stock before the split and will own 200,000 shares after the split. As the number of outstanding shares double without any change in total assets or total stockholders’ equity, the market price of the stock should immediately drop to about half of the current market value. The current market value is $50 and so it should change to approximately $25 after the split.
c A stock split does not have any effect on the total stockholders’ equity as the total value still remains the same.
